The Victorian age was the most haunted of all. At dark seances spectators goggled at spirit hands descending form above, and fondled 'spirits' who had coyly emerged from cabinets. The age of reason had done away with the supernatural. But the Victorians wanted it back and they made certain they got it. Astrology and fortune-telling enjoyed a boom, and in country districts the witches and the cunning men plied their arts, selling and casting spells, and applying the evil eye. The Table-Rappers deals with all aspects of the Victorian occult-the credulity of believers certain that a thing of gauze and muslin was their dead aunt, the venom of the professional mediums who sabotaged each others' seances, and the still unexplained phenomena-levitations, the fire test where mediums handled red-hot coals, and strange materialisations where both spirits and mediums were in the room at the same time. Behind all the heavy breathing in darkened rooms, the implausible spirit photographs, the interminable dotty table-rapping and inconsequential scribbling on slates, lay a whole world of absurd tricksters, well-meaning dolts, credulous gulls and some unforgettable characters.

8vo 0750936843 Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 256 p., multiple BRAND NEW copies, NO marks, Topics 19th century; British Isles; Europe; Great Britain; History; Non-Fiction; Spiritualism...from the publisher "Droves of Victorians eagerly took part in séances, during which, mediums led many to believe that ghosts proved their existence by rapping on tables and levitating objects. The late 19th century saw an explosion of interest in every sort of paranormal experience, including fortune telling and ghost hunting. Ronald Pearsall details the methods of the con men and imposters who profited by misleading the credulous, as well as the venomous professional mediums who sabotaged each other's séances. Among this book's 12 black and white illustrations are several examples of cleverly faked "spirit photography, " which goes to show that even technology had a role to play in the conquest of the beyond.
